The Vancouver International Film Festival is starting this week. A variety of films are available in several languages, and they have an educational screenings program, too. These make great field trips, so bookmark the dates for future years, or sign up for notifications via the VIFF website. Many of these films eventually become available for a small fee through websites such as Vimeo, so if you see one you'd love to share with your students, but you can't physically attend the festival, don't despair! Group ticket sales info is here. VIFF is also seeking teacher feedback, and offers free tickets in thanks.
